My Daughter will be 1 years old this December and I’m try to wing her off of my breast. I might be doing something wrong because as of lately since I started winging her it’s like the only thing she wants what should I do? ( suggestions are appreciated)

Do you guys give milk before or after breakfast? LO is 7 months next week. Same question for lunch aswell 🤔

Hi mamas! I’ve been trying to look for a breast pump for a month now and I really cannot get a conclusion or stick to one! What’re your recommendations? What do you guys have or what do you guys definitely do not recommend? ☺️ I would love a wearable one but I’ve heard the suction is not as good as the normal ones?

I’m a first time mom so I don’t know that much about child rearing and my son who is 3 months next week is very attached especially when going to sleep, even though he’s had some formula / breastmilk he still wants to suckle on my nipple while falling asleep , he always wants me to cuddle him while he falls asleep ....

I'm 10 months postpartum and after struggling to maintain my supply from the start, I think it's starting to dry up. I have combo fed since 4 weeks and I'm going to continue putting my baby to the breast for as long as I can-- I was hoping to make it to at least a year -- but I'm heartbroken that this feels like it...

I transitioned my baby to formula and his belly can’t handle it we even tried switching the kinds of formula, but I can only pump around 1-2 oz from my boobs. What can I do to seriously increase my supply? I really need to get my supply back please please 🙏🩷

So currently 37 weeks pregnant and started harvesting colostrum. Had 10 syringes full in the freezer I was super super proud of and felt really relaxed knowing I had them as my first baby had a really tough time feeding initially in hospital. Husband got food out the freezer and accidentally took out the bag of syri...

I feel like mine doesn’t doze off otherwise

Almost 14 month old, we’re still breastfeeding. She’s attached, always asking for milk. I don’t want to stop yet because she doesn’t seem ready at all, but I still haven’t gotten my period and we’re trying for baby #2. But I don’t think it will happen until I get my period back. Any suggestions or advice 💓

So my partner is getting irritated that he can’t take our baby out with him for a few hours/for the day because I am EBF and I generally can’t get much out with a pump these days. My breastmilk has regulated so I make plenty for our baby when he is on my boob. Says he feels like a step parent to our son because he i...

Hi… my daughter is has recently started putting her hand down/up my shirt to put her hand in my bra… sometimes she’ll squeeze it and sometimes she just wants to rest it there. I’m thinking it’s for comfort but I wanted to check if anyone else’s baby do this?

Long story short, I didn’t end up breastfeeding although I absolutely wanted to I ended up pumping but the past 11 weeks I’ve tried everything to up my supply and nothing is working. I can barely get a bottle a day and it’s time I came to terms that my pumping journey has come to an end, I am devastated but feel it’...

I'm so fed up already. Started collecting colostrum last Friday. Only got 0.3 mls so far. Barely get anything out. I struggled with my supply anyway with my first 2 children but I don't know what I'm doing wrong ! Feels like such a waste of time. Tried hot showers, heat pads, massaging but it makes no difference. F...

Welp pumping definitely does not work for me. Only thing I can think of is hand expressing. This is between both. When I hand express I'm getting way more.

My baby has two bottom front teeth and is starting to bite me while breastfeeding. It is so painful and my nipples have red marks. Any tips are appreciated. I’m even thinking of pumping and feeding him the bottle.

Few questions about pumping and returning to work I need to pump around 3x whilst at work, but can’t sterilise my breast pump, I don’t have a fridge there only a cool bag with ice block, can I store it in there and pump several times? Is my milk sage being stored in a cool bag with an ice block until I return home...

My daughter has milk first thing in the morning and then before she goes to bed, when did your LOs drop the milk in the morning or before bed or both?

What does your toddler do with their free hand? Weird question ik 😅 but mine HAS to grab my other nipple, not even just grab but tug, play, pinch, flick, everything. It’s kinda overstimulating for me and every time I stop her she gets so mad 😂

Hi everyone! So I am pumping for my daughter but not breastfeeding. I tried it and it wasn’t for me. I do want to give her breastmilk so I’ve been pumping and formula feeding. I want to have a steady supply but not too much. I plan to stop in 6 months. I have the spectra and lansioh wearable pump. I noticed the wear...
